Has everyone thought about how the twilight town trio is less likely going to show up in KH4?😞

It sounds like Nomura was tempted to kill everyone (or keep them killed) in the first place so, we should just take solace in the fact they're all alive lol

Unless starting with 4 Master of Masters just starts dunkin characters in body bags.

I honestly don't see Sea Salt doing very much? Maybe as they've done, letting the HB Ansem team scan brains, memories, hearts, etc.
But unless as @Snakeskin94_1642611873 says, if MoM firetrucks with them, Roxas and co. will definitely firetruck with MoM back.

True it’s just so hard to part ways with these characters since they’ve all been given their own games😭 I was shocked when they said Roxas and Xion returning in KH3 was a “fan decision” which means they are less likely to show up in Kh4.

I mean we learn in KH 3 Remind, that the twilight town gang were studying Roxas and Xions memories, and Ven, Terra, Aqua, are looking in the realm of darkness. It could be possible we may get just a few clips of them again. I mean if they wanted to just stay out of the story from now on they would’ve just never mentioned them again.

Right
I'm just happy they're all happy and hanging out together with H,P,O. )

I don't mind. I'm assuming this new arc will at least have several games in it's story so that's plenty of time to give everyone at least some attention big or small. I think the only thing that I'd want to see more of Roxas and Xion is more actual bonding with Sora since KH3 seemed to put emphasis on Sora and Roxas possibly seeing each others as siblings so that'd be a fun dynamic to explore more. Other then that we know Axel has his own relevant plot moving forward with trying to find Subject X with Isa so we know those two will pop up again.

But right now we already have a ton of characters, old and new, that are in the focus and I'm pretty interested in seeing them. We have Sora in his new predicament. We have Yozora. We have Strelitzia. The MoM. Riku searching for Sora. Kairi training and who knows she might even get to Quadratum by the mid to end parts of the game. Donald, Goofy and Mickey both looking for Sora and questions to the past. Laurium regaining his memories and looking for his sister. The other Lost Masters. Luxord most likely being Yozora's driver. Ect. The list could potentially go on. I didn't even bring up Ven's link in all this until now.

KH4's big appeal for me right now is exploring Unreality, Sora and Strelitzia's predicament, Yozora and his connection to Sora and the MoM.

I do wonder who will voice axel in 4 now that Fujiwara passed away

Idk. Maybe Axel won't even show up in KH4 until they figure that out?

Subject x may have some links to the other chi-themed subplots so maybe it'll be a xehanort scenario where the rule of not replacing dead VAs gets ignored and a worthy successor is found

Yeah I mean they kind of set themselves up by keeping Axel relevant since he promised to find Subject X who we all know will be important in the current new arc of the series. Unless they make a lot of effort to have Axel never speak and doing things offscrean (kind of like how they didn't give Dilan any lines, lol). But I don't think his fans would like that too much.

Subject X? Isn’t that Skuld? I ask because they described her as a girl with black hair.

Unconfirmed, but I'm not gonna lose my shit if it is actually her

every time nomura talks about subject X it feels like he talks about a character we haven't seen yet

I still hope that Roxas’s group and Vens group get at least a few scenes in Kh4, I’ll be happy with that. I’m still shocked that they only brought Roxas and the rest back due to the fans wanting it. I mean they could’ve just “brought him back” by putting him in a few scenes that’s fine, but the whole game and story was pretty much about bringing them all back to life, your telling me that decision was made due to the fans?!

I mean Nomura is still making artwork of them😭😭 look at our boys, don’t tell me your just going to pretend that they are done in the story.

True, but I'll refer you to what I said the other day:

^

So like I said, we're just gonna have to take solace in the fact their alive and well lol; unless MoM just starts dropping bodies.

It's at this moment and time I just realized this is turning into adaptation of Drowning Pool's song

Donald: This might be a good spot to have a mosh pit!

I know right? I thought it was pretty obvious since Coded they were coming back. At least in in DDD with Sora telling Roxas he deserved to be his own person and how Ansem the Wise talked about how everything can have a heart. How weird would it have been if Roxas, Xion and Namine were just stuck inside Sora and Kairi forever post KH3 despite the previous games telling you they had hearts and deserved to live their own lives?

I won't hold my breath for them being in KH4 but at the same time I wouldn't be surprised. Ven I could definitely see popping up and potentially being important to the story. Plus I could see him wanting to see Sora after everything Sora's done for him and even sneaking off or deciding to go to Quadratum on his own. Unlike Aqua, he's not busy training a new pupil. He's also the only main character connected to the old age of Keyblade wielders and there's a lot of potential for him running into Strelitzia or anyone else from that age. Ven being in Quadratum in 4 could happen for a lot of reasons.

Though I want to see moments of big brother Sora with little brother Roxas and little sister Xion. The moments they gave us of them with Sora were so good. I'd like to see more now with the latter two freed and having been living their own lives for a year already.

Exactly! I’m sure we’ll get them in a few scenes, they just won’t have a big impact in the story. As for Ven, yeah I’m sure he will be in the Kh4 story a more than Roxas, I mean why wouldn’t he? We learned that it was Vens darkside that killed Strelitzia in the first place, not to mention Strelitzia being in the game could also mean Marluxia/Lauriam and Larxene/Elrena since Lauriam is the sister of Strelitzia and Larxene just tags along.

Ever since Streletzia was shown in thr trailer, I've been 100x more excited and interested in Lauriams character. He has been such a great character and I want to see more of his good side.
I mostly want to see him have to rescue his Sister.

Yeah me too. Laurium's story is pretty interesting with what he'll be doing. I'm assuming he and Larxene will remember everything. Which means they'll know the truth about Ven and everything else. The only question is when they'll explain things or where they even ended up? It'd be easier if they found Ven who then would take them to Quadratum. But unless they've done their own digging they don't have a reason to go there except maybe finding Sora because they owe him one.

Yeah like who will find Strelitzia first, Laurium or Ven? Ven is the most likely candidate since he knows Quadratum exists now and Sora is there. We also don't know how Strelitzia will react to Ven. Will she caution Sora on trusting Ven, prompting a confused Ven to begin to recover his lost memories? But if Lauriam finds her first then less drama because he can explain things (basically we'll have Ven having another crisis over his identity either way).

Aw yeah. You can tell Roxas really looks up to Sora after reconciling his relationship with him. Roxas is always counting on Sora to never be worried and to save the day like it's a simple thing. He just trusts Sora completely to take care of everything - makes sense. Sora was the first person ever to tell him he was his own person and even protected his and Xion's hearts until they had bodies. Plus how angry he got when Sora got hurt in Remind. Yeah there's actually a lot of good moments between them throughout the series. KH3 really upped the whole sibling like dynamic potential between them. Particularly in the Big Hero 6 world where it seemed like they were comparing Sora and Roxas to Tadashi and Hiro (which gets sadder considering like Hiro, Roxas saw Sora vanish from his life right in front of him). It's probably why even if Roxas and Xion have no plot importance (which Nomura could easily give them I suppose. We don't know everything about this new Arc in the series). I can still see them being given focus in Sora's story because of how the series built their relationship for more. Also Xion's fascination and perceptiveness with Sora is also cute.
